Bought a new Terrain and had the dealer install winter tires and wheels... Went to take them off today and found them extremely loose... 65 ft/lbs,manual says 140... When I went to put them back on I notice a plastic spacer either in the wheel or on the hub,looks it it meant to center and keep the alloy wheels fron touching the hub and corroding. They appear too big for the center in the steel wheel, i had to kick the wheel very hard to get them off the hubs and the unit is less than a month old...
Also, I tried to torque the wheels to 140 and with the plastic spacer,it seems to never get tight,even split one...
Are these spacers only for the alloy wheels? It would certainly look that way... or maybe a different one for the steel wheels...?
Thanx... rick..
